Training School Seniors
To Present Play, May 16
The Senior class of the McKee
Training school, Western Carolina
Teachers college, will present the
play, One Mad Night, a farce in
three acts, at the Hoey auditorium
on Friday evening, May 16, at
eight o'clock.
The action of the play takes
place in one mad night, and what
a crazy night it is! Dan Cutter, ac-,
companied by Wing his proverb
quoting Chinese valet, goes to the
Cutter mansion, a lonely house in i
the .hills, to complete his play in
peace an^ quiet. The house has
been deserted for years, a series
of mysterious murders having
given it the reputation of a being
a haunted house. Imagine Don's
astonishment when he finds the
house tenanted by a number of
j strange people, including John
Alden, Priscilla, Mr. Hyde, and
Lady Macbeth. They are .lunatics
under the care of Dr. Bunn, whose
nearby home for insane has burned;
they;are really quite harmless, but
Don does not know this?and the
audience enjoys his discomfiture.
Among the inmates are Lucile, a
beautiful girl with an amazing
story of persecution and intrigue.
Like a true Lochinvar, Don is just
about to ride to her rescue when
[.-his fiance and her mother arrive
with their jpaid. Depression, one
of the funniest colored characters
ever created. From this point,
everything happens, including
talking ghosts, screaming women,
diappcanng guests, and, for a cli
max, the appearance of an escaped
murderer fleeing for his life. Don
succeeds irurescuing the lovely Lu
icile from a sinster fate only after
a series of thrillingly funny esca
pades. One Mad Night is the last
word in rapid-fire hilarity.
For best results, market eggs
should be stored in a place where
the temperature is about 55 de
gree. F. and the relative humidity
about 75 per cent.

FEDERAL AID PROGRAM
FOR FISHERIES SOUGHT
A new effort in Congress to turn
the Federal wildlife assistance pro
gram into a doubleheader has been
started by Rep. John D. Dingell of
Michigan. Under his proposal, the
government would aid states in
fish management and restoration
projects through a program similar
to the Pittman-Robertson system
of Federal aid in game work. Rep
Dingell's bill is like one offered
in the last Congress by A. Willis
Robertson, now senator from Vir
ginia but at the last session a
member of the House.
The Dingell bill would have the
program work through state fish
and, game agencies on a -75-25 Fed
eral-aid basis. Funds would come
from the 10 per cent Federal tax
now, imposed on fishing rods,
creels, reels, and artificial lures,
baits, and flies. (These tax re
ceipts now go into the govern
ment's general fund.) The Fish and
Wildlife Service would cooperate.
Tine bill would require enabling
acts by state legislatures for par
ticipation in the program, with the
provision that no state could use
fishing license receipts for any
purpose other than fish and game
department administration.
Like the Pittman-Robertson pro
gram for game, the proposed fish
cries aid work thus would be paid
?pr entirely by sportsmen, since
funds would come from the equip
ment tax. Pittman-Robertson help,
t:ilso given to eligible states on a
75-25 basis, is paid for by Con
gressional appropriation from a
fund \vhich is derived from the
11 per cent Federal tax on sport
ing arms and ammunition. The
P-R program also requires that
states must permit no diversion of
license fees to any other use than
fish and game department admin
istration. North Carolina has
shared in P-R aid for several years
following General Assembly adop
tion of an enabling act which in
cluded the "no diversion" clause.
The Dingell program would cov
er fish restoration and manage
ment projects of all species of fish
which have material value in sport
or recreation in marine and fresh
waters of the United States. It
would set up research programs in
fish management and culture prob
lems, and make a study of the ex
tent of, and drain on, the sport fish
resource.
The bill is pending in the House
Merchant Marine and Fisheries
Committee, which took over con
sideration of wildlife matters un
der Congressional reorganization
at this session which abolished
House and Senate special commit
tees on such matters. That's the
place where sportsmen should send
word on their sentiments about'
proposals like Rep.- Dingell's bill.
Rep. Herbert C. Bonner of North
Carolina is a member of the com
mittee.
NEW NOTES ARE STRUCK
IN WATERFOWL CANVASS
Something new has beeix added
this year in the U. S. Fish and
Wildlife Service's canvass of evi
dence on which it will base its
recommendations on htQ migratory
waterfowl shooting season.
First, the service is conducting
i a series of public conferences
throughout the nation to discuss
waterfowl problems and regula
t;ons with state officials, conser
vation agcncics, and sportsmen's
groups.
Then there's the possibility that
states may be permitted to estab
lish * their^owft shooting Seasons,
within limits.
in connection with the confer
ences, Albert M. Day, director of
the service, says: "We have long
felt the need fo;- more effective
contacts with state officials and
groups interested in the future of
our migratory waterfowl, so we
have decided this year to try out
a rather extensive experiment.
"At these meetings, service of
ficials will present as clearly as
possible the waterfowl situation on
the North American continent to
day and will discuss the purjJbscs
' of waterfowl regulations. Special
consideration will be given to such
matters as zoning regulations by
flyaways, and permitting the states
to select their own shooting period
witi.in prescribed limits."
Two conierences have been
scheduled for the South. The first
will be at Jacksonville, Fla., on
May 9, and the second at New
Orleans on May 12. The Jackson
ville meeting is the one at which,
greater attention will be put on
problems affecting North Carolina
and the other southeastern states.
Commissioner John D. Findlay,
who will represent the N. C. Di
vision of Game and Inland Fish
eries at this conference, has urged
attendance by "every. North Caro
lina sportsman interested in hear
ing the discussion or in adding
i something to the meeting."
